Qualities Needed In All Moms

A panel of experts was asked to complete some sentences about their moms.

What made them experts was the one thing they all had in common. They were all kindergarteners. Even though these are the words of 6 year olds I think the qualities they recognized in their moms are the qualities needed in all moms. Here are the sentences and the answers:

My mom is best at: "feeding the dog," "making my bed," "driving,"

"cleaning," "running," "riding a two-wheeler," "watering the garden."

If I had enough money, I'd buy her: "flowers," "a car," "a necklace," "a brand-new fan," "a kitten," "a diamond ring," "a big pack of bubble gum."

It makes me feel good inside when Mom says: "I love you," "good job,"

"dinnertime!" "You look handsome," "I'll buy you something."

My mom is as pretty as a -- "butterfly," "ballerina," "mouse," "princess,"

"my brothers," "goose," "gold ring," "a clean horse."

(And my very own personal favorite which is still hanging in my kitchen: “I love my mom because she takes me to McDonalds” ~ Gay)
